The temperature dependence of Raman spectra for SrBi 2− x Nd x Nb 2 O 9 ceramics ( x from 0 to 0.2) has been studied in a wide temperature range from 80 to 873 K. It is found that the peak position of the A 1 g [Nb] phonon mode at 207 cm –1 , which is directly associated with the distortion of NbO 6 octahedron, decreases with increasing Nd composition, while the A 1 g [O] phonon mode at 835 cm –1 increases. Moreover, both the peak position and intensity of the A 1 g [Nb] phonon mode reveal strong anomalies around the ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition temperature. It indicates that the phase transition temperature decreases from about 710 to 550 K with increasing Nd composition, which is due to the fact that the introduction of Nd ions in the Bi 2 O 2 layers reduces the distortion extent of NbO 6 octahedron.
